stupid insurance company. they just called trying to get me to say bad things about the hospital.
and in answer to my question of what can I do should we have an emergency again, that will make this LESS of a FIGHT. Basically he said that unless the danger zone hits WHILE we are with a mental care professional that we have been in the care of, there will probably always be a fight. ME, THE PARENT, THE INSURED - me saying it is an emergency HOLDS NO GROUND! What I can do to make it smoother is to go to their ONE approved hospital. A hospital we have no connection with at all. A hospital that is not taking any children into their outpatient services at the moment, so I cannot even start trying to get know. JACKASS still tried to play it off like they were helping me. HATE!
If I didn't know better, I'd assume this had been written by our own billytea under an alias: [link]
Oh, msbelle, that's terrible. I am so angry on your behalf!
"The Sugar Bears" Cardboard Flexi-Disc (from Sugar Crisp cereal)
I'm guessing this is from the early '70s?
Huh. One member of the Sugar Bears is named Doobee Bear. He looks sorta' stoned.
Ugh. Sorry msbelle, that sounds seriously angry making.
Jesus Christ, msbelle. So enragening!
ugh so sorry to just rant in the middle of ongoing discussion.
hivemind - what I need research help with is twofold:
1) services within the NYC Dept. of Education for behavioral problems (DOE site is like a cracked out maze from my experience). AND any info on special needs school within the public school system, like does some magic non-scary one exist (dreaming, I know).
2) are there any private schools in NYC that are for kids with issues. I know there must be, but I have no idea how to search for that info.
If anyone can do some searching, I would greatly appreciate it. profile addy.
off to make lunch.
Jesus, msbelle-- what the hell is the MATTER with them?
The sheer callousness of how you're being treated at a time like this illustrates so painfully why we need medical care to be regulated.
I'm just sorry you and mac are becoming such poster children. It's so fucking unfair.

What Barb said. Jesus Christ that sucks.
msbelle, a quick search turned up the Special Education District 75

Have you already looked there? If you haven't, I'll start digging.
As far as private schools, I found this in New York Magazine's Family Guide.
